InuYasha groaned softly, his eyes fluttering open. Where am I? he mused, looking around. He was on a bed. The room was extravagant, the furniture ornately carved, the rug and tapestries vibrantly colored – it was even lit by a chandelier. What the hell happened? He wondered. Kyoto…there was that scent…she drugged me. Fighting a wave of dizziness, he sat up. He was alone. What are they planning to do, use me to barter with Sessh? Sounds likely. I can’t believe I let her trick me, like that. He stood, most of the effects of the drug having worn off, now. He noticed a note on his pillow.
“InuYasha,” it read. “I really am sad for things to have turned out this way, but the opportunity was too good, and you made it too easy. Anyways, by the time you wake up, you’ll have been out for two days. If you need anything, knock on the door and ask the guards – I’m sure they’ll do their best to supply you with food and water, should you require it. They’ve been given strict orders not to respond to threats and never to bring you a weapon, nor are they to open the door for you, so don’t even try it. Food will be passed in through a small hole in the wall through which you couldn’t possibly fit. What I mean to say is escape is futile, so just sit tight while the grownups handle things.” It was signed Kyoko.
The Hanyou curled his lip at the condescending slip of paper and looked around. Well, did they really think I’d just sit here? He went to the window and opened it. There was a dizzying drop below. The steeply setting sun glinted in his eyes and he put up a hand to cover his face. That’s when it hit him. If he’d been asleep for two days, then today was…Oh, Kami, help me! He thought frantically. He ran to the door.
“Excuse me, I know you’ve been given strict orders to never let me out or whatever, but I need to see Sesshoumaru, right now!” he called. Silence. “I mean it!” More silence. He slammed his fist into the door. The sun dipped below the horizon. He screamed as agony tore through is body. No, no, no, no…please don’t…don’t leave me, he begged his own Youkai. He choked off his own scream and fell to the ground, curling in around himself. You can do this Yasha, he told himself. For Sessh…for the pup…you can do this…
Sesshoumaru’s chest heaved as he sprinted through the forest. Of course, it was hopeless, he couldn’t catch a single scent of InuYasha. It was like trying to track down Naraku – there were just no clues. Terrified, gold eyes glanced at the setting sun. Kami, no! He needs me! Ever since InuYasha’s disappearance two days ago, the demon lord had been searching frantically for him, but now his anxiety had reached a paramount high. He was running aimlessly. Never had he been so, pathetically, helpless before. When I find that Kyoko, he vowed, I’m going to rip out her entrails and pour my acid into her empty stomach! He paused in his running to let out a long, loud howl…
InuYasha heard the howl – unmistakably his brother’s. It cut through the pain buzzing in his head. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to his feet. The half demon staggered across the room to the window. The moonless sky leered down at him as he pulled himself up onto the sill.
“It’s going to be okay,” he whispered to his pup. “It’s going to be just fine…you’ll see. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” Maybe he’ll hear me, if I howl – then at least he’ll know I’m alive, for now. He threw back his head and howled. Then he looked down at the ground. Jumping in this state is a little risky, he thought. Did they think I wouldn’t have the guts to climb? Forcing the pain to the back of his head, he slowly began to climb down. Several times he started slipping and had to catch himself or the pain would overcome him and it was all he could do to cling to the wall and breathe. It took him nearly half an hour to get down. Why do they even have a tower, like that, anyways? He complained inwardly.
Now that he was on the ground, he looked around. He was in a courtyard. Across the courtyard was a wall. Great…more climbing, he thought sarcastically. What’s more, there were guards on the walls, and the pain was driving him to the point of distraction. He sat down at the base of the tower, trying to collect himself. At length, he stood and looked around. If he were at his full strength, he could just make a run for it and probably clear the wall before anyone even started chasing him, but he wasn’t, and he didn’t have time to wait for tomorrow. He had no idea when Kyoto’s plan would go into affect, but he had to get to Sesshoumaru before then.
“Going somewhere?” a voice chimed softly. He spun to find himself facing the male demon. Daichi, right? He took a step back.
“You think I’m going to sit here and watch as you try to get away with this plan?” the Hanyou spat. “I’m not some weakling that needs taking care – agh!” He doubled over with pain. Daichi reached for him, and he lashed out with his claws. Snarling, he ran off. There goes the idea of an easy escape, he thought…
Sesshoumaru froze when he heard someone approaching. A demon. Kyoto. He spun and lunged at her, grabbing her by the throat and pinning her to the trunk of a nearby tree. The she-demon, for her part, hardly looked perturbed.
“If you want to see him alive, you’ll have to be willing to make a deal with me,” she rasped out.
“What’s the deal?” he asked, instantly prepared to give anything they wanted, if only he could have InuYasha back, safe and sound. She tugged his hand loose a little so she could speak properly.
“You are to give up everything to me – your land, your titles. You are to go into exile with your pathetic half-breed mate and never show your face in this land, again.”
“I want to see him before I agree to anything,” the demon lord replied.
“Of course. We have him in our palace. I’ll take you to him, now.” The two of them disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke, only to reappear in InuYasha’s room. She froze. What the--? She thought. “He…seems to have decided to go for a walk.” Sesshoumaru inhaled deeply and relief flooded his ability to think, for a moment. He could smell his mate, alive. Without any warning, he took off, jumping out the window to follow his mate’s scent. Through the mating mark, he could sense InuYasha’s agony. His instincts were driving him crazy, telling him to find him and do something about it.
He turned a corner and saw InuYasha, huddled against the wall, trying to defend himself from Daichi. Not breaking pace once, he rushed the other demon, tossed him aside like a limp rag, and caught up his mate in his arms.
“InuYasha!” he breathed. The Hanyou froze for a moment then clung back to him, burying his face in his shoulder.
“Sessh…don’t do whatever it is they want you to do,” he whispered.
“Of course not. I fully intend to demolish them for their traitorous actions…tomorrow. Today, I want to just get you home and safe.”
“I’m sorry Ru…I should have been more careful…I should’ve listened to Atsushi, and I just…I just…”
“Shhh…it’s okay. Shhhh….we can talk about it later. Not here.” He turned to face Kyoko as she caught up to them.
“Do you really think you can escape, now?” she asked. “I have hundreds of guards. Make the deal with me, and you can walk out.”
“I don’t think that offer even merits a response. I don’t validate traitors,” Sesshoumaru replied haughtily. “If you have any business to finish up before you die – do it tonight, because tomorrow I will be back to destroy you.” He scooped InuYasha up bridal style, pouring as much of his Ki into him as he could while still preserving enough to get them out of there.
“You-!” she was cut off by a blur of white and red as the demon lord took off, clearing the wall in one leap. She stared after them.
“Shouldn’t we follow?” her mate asked.
“Are you crazy? He’ll slaughter us for sure – or sic that war demon on us,” she spat. “Our options are now limited to run, hide, and pray.”
Sesshoumaru slowed to a walk only once he was sure no one was following. He took InuYasha up to a cave and lay him down.
“I’m so sorry this took so long,” he murmured, glancing up at the lightening sky. “We’ve less than an hour before dawn.”
“S-Sessh…I was so scared, I thought we were going to lose the pup,” the Hanyou whispered. Sesshoumaru kissed him softly, caressing his mating mark soothingly.
“I’m so proud of you, Yasha. Doing this…on your own. I’m so sorry you had to endure this.” The Hanyou nuzzled the underside of his chin apologetically.
“It’s my fault, really. Atsushi did warn me, after all.” Sesshoumaru lay down beside his brother, wrapping his arms around him. “What are you going to do to them?”
“I’ll deal with them quickly – there’s no point in drawing out their deaths.”
“All the guards too?”
“Anyone that had a role in this treachery. Anyone that can prove he had no part in this will be allowed to live, everyone else will die.”
“It seems like I’m just causing you trouble.”
“Nonsense. Those fools would’ve made some move, anyways. If it wasn’t through you-”
“But it was through me. I really do…have to learn all this political stuff…if I want to protect you the same way you protect me.”
“Inu, you do…more than enough…to protect me.”
“It’s never enough. That’s kind of the point of being mated – you do everything you can…always…for that person. I am not going to let you down, again, and don’t say I didn’t, because I…I got us into this one.” He smiled weakly. “I guess I was just…I was so lonely…I wanted a friend.” Sesshoumaru seemed honestly shocked.
“Lonely?”
“You know, when you get busy with work – I know it’s not your fault, but I…I know it’s kind of stupid or whatever-”
“No. No, InuYasha, it’s not. You’ve been alone so much, in your life. It’s my job to make sure you’re never lonely, again. I had no idea you…I’m sorry. I’ll fix it. I promise you…I won’t let you be lonely, again.” The Hanyou closed his eyes, resting his head against his mate’s shoulder. “I was so terrified…when you were gone. I felt so helpless. I never want to be helpless, like that, not when you need me.”
“Well, you found me in the end, didn’t you? And it all turned out okay, so that’s all that really matters, right?”
“I suppose so.” Sesshoumaru kissed him softly. “As long as we can make it through these things, it will be alright.”
“Were you going to make the deal?”
“Of course…and then I’d proceed to kill her and her husband for treason. InuYasha, I do not give traitors what they want, but remember that you…you always come first.”
“So you’d lie to her?”
“She lied to you and me. I would only be returning the favor. It’s just politics.” The first fingers of dawn stretched up over the horizon and relief washed through InuYasha’s body. He exhaled deeply. Slowly, he sat up.
“Let’s go home, Aniki.” Sesshoumaru stood, helping his mate to his feet, and smiled at him, hugging him tightly.
“Alright, love. Let’s go home.”
